Awkwardly Anna: Recent Episodes
Anna Barr
Hello friends! Thank you for giving me a space to speak what God has placed on my heart to share! I'm so glad you're here and hope that you feel encouraged. This podcast is all about showing up fully in this life, living out your purpose, fulfilling your dreams and being SO fully and authentically you despite any perceived awkwardness that you might have let hold you back in the past. A major aspect of my authentic living is living at the pace of life that creates margin for rest and rejuvenation. Website: www.awkwardlyanna.com Email: helloannabarr@gmail.com
So often we are called to stay. Staying in one place professionally can easily get to where it feels stagnant. If you're committed to GROWING though, you will quickly see that the current place you are at could just be your biggest place where you GROW.

New Year
Happy New Year
Hello 2024
Where did 2023 even go?
Do we have to get this massive game plan with a million goals all ready to go like yesterday?
NO! I firmly believe we weren't meant to live that way. January is a beautiful time to follow what the season typically does here in the Midwest US- Slow down, get cozy, snuggle up. Does this mean you reject any and all goals this month? No haha. Listen to this episode to hear what you can do, get encouraged on why you possibly should do this, and what to reflect on to figure out if this would be a good fit for you!
Email me if you want to hop on a coaching discovery call for my Christmas Special ($25 for a 30 minute call where we get an action plan for your month, you can ask/see what life coaching is all about, and see if I would be a good coaching fit for you!). Email: helloannabarr@gmail.com

Holiday time does NOT have to equal stress. But HOW?
You've probably heard the usual tips:
Prep your meals
Buy some pre made items to make meals easier
Go to bed on time
Etc.
But these ones might be new or create an "aha" moment for you and you can start these as soon as TODAY. What's great it any of these strategies could help reduce your stress ANY week not just on a holiday week.
Let me know which you try out!

The waiting. When you KNOW God has said ___ is next but it's not yet happened. When you've been given the vision but it's not come to be yet. When you have the passion deep in your heart but it's not happened yet. It can be easy to fall into deep discouragement but what if we actively fought that discouragement with none other than GRATITUDE. Not faking it. Not avoiding feeling (that's former me and is for the birds- confident people FEEL). This can seem like a "no way Anna" when you first read this BUT hear me out... The authentic gratitude will change the entire journey and outcome of the waiting. Listen to today's episode to hear what my experience is with this and hear WHAT you can do to pursue this with intention to start this journey of change with yourself.

Not being where you'd thought you'd be yet is SUCH a common area where we tend to beat ourselves up.
This can be: Not being married when you thought you would be A marriage not going how you thought it would Not having kids when you thought you would or as many as you thought you would Not living where you thought you would live Not having as much debt paid off or income earned as you thought you would Not seeing as many countries as you were just sure you'd visit by ___ age Not having the house you dreamed of by this exact age and date and time
Any of this sounding familiar? The list of where we do this isn't limited to this list. We all have an area or areas where we feel that sting of self-disappointment.
But when we don't take the time to actually deal with these feelings, acknowledge, feel, pray, work through, pray more, dream again, etc then we'll always feel this gap between ourselves and God. When we create that gap and replace it with disappointment we're actually hurting OURSELVES. This practice is exactly what limits us and "holds us back."
In today's episode you'll learn the 6 action steps you can do to begin feeling progress and freedom in this area TODAY.
Interested in getting coached on an area of timeline disappointment you're dealing with? I love coaching on this! Email me here: helloannabarr@gmail.com and let's chat!

On today's Awkwardly Anna Podcast episode we welcome our special Virginia O'Brien. In this episode Virginia shares her powerful story of going through some very hard times and abuse, but still seeing and believing in God throug it all. She bravely opens up about her difficult journey and how she found strength in her faith. She talks about the struggles she faced in coming to terms with what was happening to her and how she found the courage to leave multiple abuse situations.
Despite the challenges she faced, Virginia continued to grow in her belief in God. She shares how prayer and faith helped her through the hardest moments of her journey and how it gave her the strength to keep going.
Virginia also speaks about the role of the church and other believers in her life and how their support helps her to heal and grow. She emphasizes the importance of having a supportive community, especially during times of hardship.
Through her story, Virginia offers hope and inspiration for those who may be going through similar struggles. She encourages listeners to hold on to God even in the darkest moments and to lean on their community for support.
This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the most difficult circumstances, there is always hope and that with God we can overcome any circumstance (including forgiving ourselves). Also that who we allow to speak over our lives absolutely matters.
Please share this episode with anyone you think would be encouraged by it!

Our FINAL Episode in our 1-week winter podcast series! This also happens to be our FINAL episode of the year! Yay!
Today we're discussing what to do when you constantly have to keep busy or are possibly addicted to busy
Rest is essential to life. If there is a reason why your body cannot rest- then there is an area you CAN improve to unlock a whole new level of living that is immensely rewarding.
Fortunately, you don't have to explore this area alone. I'm here to help!
I have 3 questions you can ask yourself to see if this is a possibility for improvement and then an exercise you can try to immediately begin working on this.
We also go over what you can do to keep this habit up moving forward.

2nd episode of our 1-week series!
Today's episode is:
Ideas for The Time Between Christmas and New Year to Make Your Home More Enjoyable to Be In
Here's a typed-out list of the 12 ideas:
- Don’t rush to take down your Christmas just because you feel like you HAVE to. But if you have a day during this week when you prefer to take yours down then do. You could also replace this with a plan for when you would like to take things down and get that on the calendar instead. Then enjoy what’s up or not and be peaceful and calm about it.
- Do get intentional about your morning and night routines. Get your personal hygiene on lock during this time and add in ONE other thing (phone off by this time, workout on these mornings, etc.)
- Do clean rooms and wash sheets (leave a blanket for drying right before bed and ENJOY the warm hug feeling:)
- Break down all cardboard and take that and the paper to recycling or put in your own recycling for pick up day.
- Clean bathrooms, toilets, counters, light switches, and door knobs.
- Rearrange your mugs to have them just how you like them so they’re ready for when you need a warm cozy tea, hot chocolate, or coffee.
- Wash and dry all your blankets and add an essential oil you love in the winter to the wash and the dryer balls. Place them nicely folded in a basket where they’re easy to reach for when you need the cozy.
- Set out (go to the library and get 1-2 if needed) books that are winter-themed or personal development themed and stack them where you usually sit on your phone.
- Change your smoke detector batteries.
- Go through any socks that you don’t like, have holes, are itchy, etc. Good quality ones donate and others get rid of as you’d like. Your KEEP socks, organize in a way that makes you happy when you go to grab a cozy pair of socks for the day.
- Create a special essential oil blend for winter, add witch hazel, place it in a spray bottle and spray on your pillows before bed. This will trigger your brain with winter cozy. (follow @hayleyhobson for more ideas on how to make special blends for times of the year, sleep, etc.)
- Buy or make chemical-free candles (beeswax with EO) and set those in areas where you will SEE to light them.

This week we're doing a winter series of quick daily episodes!
First up: What We Can Learn From Winter
This episode covers 8 things you can learn from winter happening around you.
With how the weather has been in the US, these should relate no matter what climate you're in. But if you're in a warmer climate in the US or anywhere else in the world (hello Saint Lucia👋) I think you'll still resonate with most all of these.
We'll discuss what you can learn from the weather, the daylight, the increased darkness, and from the animals and nature around you.
Enjoy!

Does money make life easier? Yes.
Does money make you happier? No.
Of course, there are tons of aspects of both of these questions and answers that I’m not covering haha. It’s really not that simple. But the purpose of this episode is, “What if you wanted to make the holidays special without spending any money or without spending as much money…would that be possible?” ABSOLUTELY!
You’ve likely heard this before, but the holidays should never cause you to go into debt unless that’s a choice you want to make and have carefully considered. If you’re using the points from the credit card and paying that credit card off, if building credit is part of your financial plan then go for it! But what if it isn’t? Or what if you are cash only? What if you need to spend less? There are SO MANY options still for how to make the holidays special.
You can also incorporate these things along with your usual money spending or high ticket traditions you have.
There’s a chance you’ve heard many of these-but my hope is that one or two really stand out as “I had forgotten about that one” or “We TOTALLY are doing this!”
Listen in for the 8 categories where you can be very creative this holiday season.
You might be surprised that this list of more actually ends up creating less. Creating a slowdown and intentionality in how you go about this season. On your terms.

- The person that didn't text you back.
- The person you're convinced gave you a dirty look.
- The person that you JUST KNOW was talking about you.
- The person that said you were fat, well at least you think they did.
- The person that is SO WRONG about their political beliefs and you just KNOW is talking bad about yours.
See a theme here?
👉Often times we create a massive narrative in our heads.
Even still there are times when something is said, done, or NOT done that yes hurts our feelings.
Whether it was intentional or not we HAVE to learn the tools to work through this.
Listen to today's episode to hear the important reminders as you get started in this "feelings work":
- You can’t change or control people
- Your experience in life is different from everyone else
- Your entire relationship with someone takes place in your head
- If they didn’t say it directly, don’t believe it.
- What does God say about you? What is your truth?
- What does God call us to do? Are they loving you?
- Some people are just mean.
- Some people are just insecure.
- Some people are just untaught.
- Some people have a different delivery from you.
- You have no idea the role you have played in someone's hurt.
- Some people have a hard time physically hearing.
Then learn what you can actually DO about this.
Remember to leave a review and share this episode with a friend (but not one whos feelings you've recently hurt. In this case, apologize and honor their feelings and your role in their hurt- don't fuel the fire by sending this podcast;)

Prayer can be so many things but often we don’t get to see the BEAUTY of it (at first).
We might be stuck in these mindsets:
It’s just kind of boring.
I don’t know how to do it right.
I just get so distracted.
God doesn’t want to hear from me.
Does prayer even “work”?
I’m too much of a mess to go to God.
The list goes on…
But today our special guest Brooke McGlothlin from Million Praying Moms helps us hear what a beautiful and powerful tool prayer actually is. Whether you are a mom or not you’ll definitely want to listen in!
You’ll be encouraged by how to extend grace to yourself.
You’ll be delighted to hear that you are NEVER alone in the hard moments of life.
& you’ll that there’s never a bad time to start.

Your family has a family culture whether you're intentional about it or not.
We're not talking about where you're from culture. Family culture as in - what you're about and why. What your intentional living is all about.
Why not choose to be intentional about this?
This doesn't mean perfection in how we do things just taking intention in envisioning our children's future and planning our days to reflect a daily life that leads to that.
This can look like time spent together, activities, values, meals, music, hobbies, religion, etc. The important part is that you take the time to do the simple steps listed in this episode to create YOUR family culture.
Feeling overwhelmed or like you're floating through each day?

Your worth doesn't come from what job you do. Whatever job or role you do provides immense value in this world that's for certain. BUT if you lost your job today you are JUST as valuable. If you hold no official title you are just as valuable. If you stay home you are just as valuable. Listen for why:)

Today’s topic is a tough one. I want to begin by giving a trigger warning here that I will speak in detail about a loss I had while pregnant. I will discuss some details of that loss and the heartbreak, as well as the light and beauty that came from this. Please do not listen to this in front of your kiddos. Also, if you are currently pregnant and this might cause you some anxiety please do not listen. The purpose of this episode is to share with others so they don't feel like they were, or are alone. And to educate anyone that might want to understand more of what someone they love has gone through.
Loss is hard. You're a mom no matter how far along your baby gets or how old your baby gets. Some babies are just born for heaven. If you yourself are going through infertility, secondary infertility, loss, etc. please reach out. I can help you any way I'm able and will be a source of encouragement the best I can. <3

Listen along with me as I make dinner and discuss what happened when one day I woke up and had the overwhelming realization (but good kind of overwhelming) that I had been forgetting to live. This episode is about what to do when you find yourself in that exact position, why there's not guilt associated with it, but instead there's hope and action to be had and taken. I hope that you are so encouraged that it's never too late to make the daily, easy, free changes to begin truly living your life and to find fulfillment, encouragement, and joy in the life you've been blessed with!

Do you ever find yourself talking to someone because you feel you "have" to or are obligated to? Do you ever feel drained after a conversation or at the end of the day?

Today's episode is a super quick intro on if you can make money online (spoiler alert-yes) and then the first 4 very quick steps you need to figure out both how and doing what. The most important part about my intro strategy is that you don't just figure out how to make money online...you find out how to make money online doing something you ENJOY, you are GOOD AT, and that fits in with the rhythm of life that you want.
I hope you enjoy this super quick intro! I look forward to working with you on the process to not only get started but to thrive doing something you love!

This episode is all about how to authentically love those closest to you-your spouse, your kids, your family, your best friend -when you feel disappointed by them. Disappointment is a part of life. It's a natural human emotion. BUT we have to learn how to actually deal with it in a productive way (and to have a way to tackle it) that then leads to us showing more consistent and authentic love. The kind of love where we are showing up better and fuller in life and communicating more effectively with those closest to us. Remember I offer one-on-one encouragement and action-taking coaching! What's that? I can encourage you along your journey as we plan step-by-step actionables to help you reach a goal that you have had on your heart. Interested in professional encouragement coaching?

What does it mean to truly live? To be sky diving all the time and swimming with sharks every weekend? I mean maybe, but that's not the truly living that this episode is about (but yes do those things and then some!). This episode is all about getting past our fear-based living to where our minds are free enough to live free, and truly live. Interested in professional encouragement coaching?

In this episode we're discussing how important it is to leave margin for slowing down in our lives. Hear some very practical ways to implement this practice starting today. When we allow for slowing down we're given such peace and see such a reduction in anxiety as our mind feels the freedom it's meant to feel. Interested in professional encouragement coaching?

Failure. None of us are immune to it. So why do we let it crush as as we so often do?
In this episode I'm exploring some of the grounding truths that made me realize I'm meant to fail and still so deeply loved even when I fail.
I hope you'll listen and be encouraged. Even more so I hope that you use the questions in this episode to explore and grow from your own perceived failures in your life.
Know that you are deeply loved.
Thank you!

Hello hello! It is my firm belief that everyone has a story. There is a part of everyone's story that people need to hear so they can grow from it as much as you have. Enter- my FIRST PODCAST GUEST! My dear friend Massiel Valenzuela-Castaneda. Massiel is the founder of Blackhearted Story Studios, lifelong writer and creator, and she is dedicated to the craft of story. Massiel began helping and teaching new writers more than a decade ago and now helps new writers address their pain points and writer's blocks to build their very best fiction books. When Massiel isn't helping new writers soar, she's reading, writing, and trying to help brand new writers believe in themselves through the How to Write a Book Podcast, YouTube Channel, and book series. You can find Massiel at: https://blackheartedstudios.com/ https://www.instagram.com/massielwrites/ She has a beautiful story of knowing who she was, trying to hide who she was, trying things and finding out what her purpose is vs what her purpose is not, as well as going through a traumatizing dog attack which led her to find the strength she ALWAYS knew was in her and finally growing into embracing her personality, who she is, what she wants out of life, and doing it all! I hope you’re as encouraged by her authentically joyful spirit and her story as much as I am! Let’s welcome Massiel to the show! As always thanks so much for listening! You are so very appreciated!
